Default 50 series Flowmaster without Drone (res.)

For people thinking about flowmasters, I had 3 chamber-50 series put on,
They are running thru long tube headers-3 in Y to a magnaflow cat, then out the back.
Their is no drone in drive or overdrive at any speed, you can talk inside the car like normal, It has a flowmaster sound, but doesn't get loud till you get on it.
The tips come past the bumper a little, and hang down below the bumper a couple inches. The guy who put em on lined everything up with a level and did an excelent job. I was worried about how they would look, plus the sound.
The motor is a 383, gear 2:59 ( I think)
I am really pleased at how they came out. Tney even look decent. (to me)
here is a couple picts.


big picts,

Glad you like the Flows; I realy like mine though a little drone at low RPM and slow accel.

Have you tried it with the top on?

Had the top on and windows up, & down, At different rpms you can year a very small amount, if you lug, or in overdrive, but its nowhere near like it is in my SS, Maybe the rpm range of the 383, or just the different design of the 3 chamber -v- 2 chamber, Anyway, I'm very happy with em,
Like I said, flowmaster sound, but not to loud, unless you get on it.....
